Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve resistance to static electricity to enhance a reliability in printing quality, by a method wherein a conductive glass layer having wear resistance is provided on a heating resistor of a thermal head through an insulating glass layer, and the conductive glass layer is connected to a power wire or an earthing wire. CONSTITUTION:Terminal electrodes 31, 32 made of a conductive material such as gold are disposed on the surface of a glaze layer 2 on a substrate at a predetermined interval. A resistant paste is printed and baked so as to connect the terminal electrodes 3 to form a heating resistor 4 in a strip form. A zinc borosilicate type glass paste is printed and calcined on the surface of the heating resistor 4 to form an insulating glass film 5. Thereafter, a glass paste prepared by adding a ruthenium oxide 4% or more to a zinc borosilicate glass is printed and baked over the surface of the surface of the insulating glass film 5 and an exposed part (a) of the common-side terminal electrode 31 to form a conductive glass film 6. In this manner, in the printing of characters or images the conductive glass film 6 and a base film 8 of the ink film 7 are in slide contact with each other, which allows generated static electricity to be discharged to a power wiring through the conductive glass film 6 and the common- side terminal electrode 31 and eliminates the possibility of the discharge through the heating resistor 4.
